HC Deb 25 April 1933 vol 277 c8
15. Mrs. WARD

asked the Secretary for Mines if he will state the terms of the settlement with Germany as to increased exports of coal from this country; if the agreement makes any reference to bunkers; and if, in the event of any expansion of the world coal production, the arrangement provides for any additional increase?

Mr. E. BROWN

In reply to the second part, there are now no restrictions on bunker coal, and such coal is, therefore, not dealt with in the agreement.
